 SQL Server & Database Maintenance Best Practices

• Apply latest patches as part of SQL Server maintenance. Microsoft releases new security patches which may be SQL-related on the second Tuesday of each month (Patch Tuesday).
• Ensure that the daily backup routines are executing accurately.
  

  Backup Database

• Check for available disk space and allocating as needed.
• Check the size of transaction logs and follow the grooming routine of the logs.
• Rebuild index if needed to optimize the data. Database fragmentation can occur in the form of gaps in data pages and can drop the database performance.
• Check the fragmentation level before and after database maintenance tasks.
• Thoroughly document the action
